Flaco López matches top-scoring season at Palmeiras, eyes Argentina debut | OneFootball

Flaco López is having his best season with Palmeiras and, last Sunday, he reached the mark of 22 goals this year, matching his 2024 season, which until then had been his most prolific. The Argentinian scored the equalizer in the comeback 3-2 win over São Paulo in the 27th round of the Brazilian Championship, at Morumbis.

The Argentinian is on track to break this personal record. For the remainder of the season, Flaco should have 13 more games with Palmeiras. This year, he has 22 goals in 51 matches, ten fewer than the total he played in 2024.

Against São Paulo, Flaco started among the starters and scored his goal in the 29th minute of the second half after a pass from Mauricio. The goal leveled the score at Morumbis after Verdão had been trailing 2-0. Shortly after, Sosa scored the winning goal.

With 22 goals, Flaco López is Palmeiras’ top scorer this season. Of these goals, ten were in the Paulista, ten in the Brazilian Championship, and two in the Libertadores.
